Toyota has released specification and prices for the Toyota Yaris on their website. The Toyota Yaris comes in two trim levels, the Toyota Yaris 1.5G and the Toyota Yaris 1.5S. Let's have a look at the specifications and most importantly price of the latest hatchback on our shores.


Both the Toyota Yaris 1.5S and the Toyota Yaris 1.5G come with the 1Nz-FE engine, the same 1.5 liter VVTi engine found in the Toyota Vios. This engine makes 109hp at 6000rpm and 142Nm of torque at 4200rpm. Both engines are mated to a 4-speed Super ECT automatic gearbox, with gate shifters. I was kind of hoping we'd get a CVT, but Toyota's Super ECT is not too bad either. 142Nm of torque isn't going to be very zippy, but it'll suffice.


The interior of the Toyota Yaris 1.5S is black trimmed, while the Toyota Yaris 1.5G is silver trimmed. The Yaris 1.5S has amber Optitron meters while the Yaris 1.5G has white Optitron meters. The entertainment system also has it's display colour coded according to trim. This is because the 1.5S is the sportier version, so amber with dark trim gives that sportier feel. Other differences in interior trim include medium gray seats for the 1.5G, and black seats for the 1.5S. The 1.5S also has a leather-wrapped steering, and a leather-wrappde shift level and knob. The audio system which plays audio CDs, MP3 and WMA is equipped with 6 speakers. The AM/FM tuner antenna is of the pole type. For extra storage space, the rear seats can be folded down; a common feature with all hatchbacks these days.


The Toyota Yaris 1.5S also comes with a full bodykit with front, side and rear skirts, while the 1.5G model does not. Other differences between the 1.5S and the 1.5G are the brakes. The 1.5S has larger 15″ ventilated discs at the front and 15″ solid discs at the rear. The 1.5G only has 14″ disc brakes at the front, while the rear wheels use drum brakes. Both cars come with 15″ sports rims wrapped with 185/60/R15 tyres


Safety features include LED brake lamps for faster activation, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, dual air-bags for the driver and passanger, and side impact protection beams. And of course, you also get a GOA-certified body. The Yaris fuel tank is 42 liters so it'll cost you RM80.64 to give her a full tank of petrol at the current prices of RM1.92 per liter for RON97 petrol. I don't know if the Toyota Yaris takes RON92 petrol.

How much will it cost you? Peninsular Malaysia prices are RM92,800.00 for the Toyota Yaris 1.5G for private registration. The Toyota Yaris 1.5S will cost you RM98,800.00 for private registration. That's RM6000 extra for a full bodykit, better brakes, and a sportier interior trim. I'd say it's pretty worth it, since the bodykit is original from Toyota. These prices are on the road prices including insurance. It's closest competitors are the Honda Jazz and the Suzuki Swift, both CBU hatchbacks. The Honda Jazz 1.5 i-DSI costs RM94,800, while the Honda Jazz 1.5 VTEC costs RM102,800. The Suzuki Swift CBU costs RM87,279 for the base model and RM91,779 for the premier model.

There are 7 colours available - Silver Metallic, Medium Silver Metallic, Black Mica, Super Red V, Pale Orange Mica Metallic, Dark Blue Mica, and Light Blue Mica Metallic.

sounds like Vios to me.. haha Yaris1.5S = Vios1.5G Yaris1.5G= Vios 1.5E

its good.
but size..
ive oredi seen this car on the road since i arrived here.
wut can i say,its small like aveo.

it's interior is alot better than aveo.....don't really like aveo's interior..

hmm.. looks good.. then again. i'm a toyota fan...
hoping that the price could drop to below 90k.. maybe 80k.... >.<

Got manual version ??

haha! dream on...imported leh... 80k = vios price liao..

it manual version...

for me, i like this car very very much.. the point is quite expensive abit. look sporty.. it look much same as honda jazz... it look very cool the power window locked there... look class..

threadstarter, u copy this directly from paultan.rg rite? Pls at least quote where u got this source, not good copying someone's work directly without qouting the original source.

Anyway i love the new yaris, just too bad the price is alittle too steep. If toyota mysia locally assembles this it could be cheaper by 10-15k!

I hope malaysia will launch the Yaris sedan version.... RM99k quite expensive...

hmm....but in vios, E doesn't have ABS but for both yaris model also have(because may be toyota dun wan people complain kaw kaw - 95k car dun have ABS )

Yaris is the aeroback version of vios la...
u can think like that...

hahaha..
soon u will see toyota improve vios abit so that it can be the sedan version...

lol..
nice nice...

let me see... yaris without protection will be
50k ?

FYI, i read an article on yaris review by a singaporean reviewer at autocar asean months ago, and in sgpore they have the E n G version, both in CVT autobox. Surprisingly, the E spec doesnt have folded rear seats, like the one in G or even the myvi. A supermini without folded seats is a big NO for me. That explains why UMW toyota refuses to bring the E spec.

honestly speakin, if i were 2 have a budget bout a 100k, n i wanna buy a jap supermini.. this 3 would be my choice.. but which one?? not easy 4 me 2 choose.. coz in terms of looks, i prefer the swift.. in terms of price, the swift's the cheapest.. in terms of space, the jazz's the best.. in terms in interior, i like the yaris's interior the most.. in terms of safety, the yaris's the safest.. in terms of power, the jazz vtec n yaris r more powerful.. in terms of equipment, the yaris's most equipped..

i really like the yaris.. i think its a very good supermini, a good compromise between performance, size n safety.. only thing thats pulling me down is the prize, very expensive 4 such a small car.. but then again, the jazz vtec is more expensive, but sales of it have been very good in our country.. so, id say the yaris is a good buy..

Yaris Sedan?? Do u think UMWT will do so? so how Vios going to sell??

model overlapping liao

my friend.. ur post made people

hahahaha..

beside, I guess with T logo, resell value of this car should be higher than Swift..

Nice looking car. Should be quite popular among lady buyers. I also read somewhere that the Yaris have a total of 17 storage compartments in its cabin! Which is quite amazing for such a small car... This means that us girls will be able to bring along more than 3 pairs of heels with us in this car.

That was in autocar ASEAn on april issue FYI, coz i read that
check a small article on it when they joked on the name behind yaris!

I write it down provided i got the time

good wat..else ah ju ah kaw also can buy and low down toyota name...

goverment want us work hard to earn more money...so can buy better car...
